The Wexford Carol

"Deus Meus Adiuva Me" is a very old Irish hymn, probably written around 1086.  Its author is believed to be Máel Ísu Ua Brolcháin, a member of an ecclesiastical family of Donegal.  The original text of the song uses both Irish and Latin, though here it is performed as an instrumental.

Ballad Of St. Anne's Reel

One Day / Blessed Assurance

Hammer dulcimer with guitar accompaniment on two traditional Scottish laments: 

Archibald MacDonald was the son of Coll 'Nam Bo' MacDonald, 16th of Keppoch and Barbara MacDonald. He was killed in the front lines at the Battle of Gladsmuir (Prestonpans), 21 September 1745. 

Lord Lovat's Lament was written by Lovat's piper, David Fraser. Lovat had been too cagey to commit to either side in the Jacobite Rising of 1745, but after the Battle of Culloden (16 April 1746) the defeated Prince Charles landed on Lovat's doorstep; Lovat was forced to take him in, and was consequently beheaded for treason in London. His last words reportedly were, "Dulce et decorum est pro patria mori!" (How sweet and proper it is to die for one's country.)
